| Description: Based on Skinner’s philosophy, behavioral work and writings, on Lindsley’s seminal work and research in identifying, counting, and analyzing inner behavior, and on the 1,000-plus research-based inner behavior projects, this workshop looks at thoughts, feelings, and urges as behaviors a person can observe, count and change. Previously used in 13 research studies, including military and other venues for those with post-traumatic stress disorders, and university masters and doctoral theses, the workshop takes the participants on a journey to some of their own and their clients’ potential inner behaviors. It includes some charts of people who have counted their inner behaviors in the past years. The workshop also teaches, or reviews, how to use the standard celeration chart to record the frequencies and analyze the changes of any inner behaviors. Articles based on research have been peer-reviewed and published in US and European journals. All publications, from theses to journal publications, have met all ethical, legal, statutory, guidelines and standards. |
